1. Cantika Abigail's Enthusiasm Towards Sabang Merauke Performance

Cantika Abigail is very enthusiastic about the Sabang Merauke 'Archipelago Heroes' Performance, as it presents various regional and national music sequences and theatrical performances. Not only that, this performance will also combine the local wisdom of our ancestors with the struggles of the heroes.

"I'm really excited. I think this is an amazing show, as it introduces the richness of Indonesian culture through a spectacular and entertaining performance. Moreover, this performance can cultivate love for culture and respect for the struggles of the heroes among the younger generation," said Cantika during her rehearsal at The Resonanz Studio, South Jakarta, on Tuesday (8/8/2023).

"Moreover, the performers involved are those who are undoubtedly capable in their respective fields and diverse. So they are able to portray the diversity of Indonesia," she continued happily. Cantika Abigail is preparing for her singing rehearsal with great enthusiasm for the day of the performance.

 

2. Several Songs Performed by Cantika Abigail Will be Combined with Traditional Costumes

In this event organized by iForte and BCA, Cantika will sing several regional and national songs, including Aku Papua, Hela Rotane, and Indonesia Raya. 

This singer of Ambon descent feels challenged to perform these songs. Besides having to sing melodiously, Cantika also has to change into several traditional costumes throughout her upcoming performance.

"The song that I think is difficult is Hela Rotane because the choreography is quite different from other songs that I sing. Plus, I have to accurately portray this song from Maluku. Maybe it's also because there's a sentimental element that my mother is of Ambonese descent. But I will still strive to perform at my best in the upcoming Sabang Merauke Performance 'Pahlawan Nusantara'," said the owner of the single Start Over.

Because we can explore the culture of the homeland through a well-packaged performance that involves various collaborations ranging from dance, music, costumes, to stage performances. In terms of music, we will present a harmonious and rich composition by combining traditional and modern music," said Dian Hadipranowo.
